talking

Jimin POV

"I think we need to talk" I said to him.

We were in the living room, so we sat on the couch. We were facing each other and I could see that he was a bit stressed. I was too. I didn't know where to begin.

"Uhm... I don't know how to begin" I said, scratching the back of my head, embarrassed.

"What are we going to talk about ?" he asked me.

"Your...issue"

"Can I start ?" he suddenly stated.

"What ?" I looked at him, slightly confused.

"Since it's about my issue I think I should begin. Don't you think ?" I shrugged my shoulders so he began.

"First, I think there was a misunderstanding..." he said.

"About what ?" What is he saying ? How could there be a misunderstanding ? 

He didn't reply immediatly. I tried scanning his face but I couldn't read him at all.

"About, you know... the person I like..." he replied, avoiding my eyes.

"What are you saying ?" I was starting to hope. I thought 'Maybe he isn't in love ? Maybe he thinks he likes the girl but in fact he doesn't and maybe he realised it ?'. I was starting to become stupid.

"I'm saying that the kind of person I like... isn't the one you're thinking of" he said with such a low voice it was almost a whisper.

"What does it mean ?" My hopes were getting higher and higher and I was becoming more stupid every nanosecond.

Kind of person ? Does he mean the gender ? Like he doesn't like girls, but boys ? A boy like I am ? Wait. Jungkook ? The Golden Maknae ? Being gay ? No way ! Why are you so stupid Jimin ?

"It means that I'm-"

"Jimin ? Jungkook ? Why aren't you sleeping ?" It was Suga hyung. I just wanted to punch him right in the face. Jungkook was about to give me an answer to all my questions but he just came and cut him off.

"Why aren't you sleeping hyung ?" I asked, pissed off.

"I was thirsty. Go to sleep, we have to be at our best condition tomorrow. Good night." With that, he went to the kitchen and we had no choice but to go to our room. When we opened the door, Namjoon hyung was sleeping so we were extremely careful to not awaken him.

Jungkook lied down first and I did the same. From my bed, I turned to face him.

"Jungkook-ah"

"Hmm ?"

"Good night"

"Sweet dreams hyung"

And with that, I quickly fell asleep, no matter all the things I was thinking about.

The next morning

Jungkook POV

Today, we have our comeback stage at Mnet M!Countdown. Last night, I was ready to explain everything to Jimin hyung but Suga hyung had to appear with a perfect timing. I just wanted to...well. It's no help to put the blame on someone else. Everything is my fault. When I wanted to confess, I had to be too slow and hyung had to cut me and I went on with a lie. What a stupid me. I should've hit myself instead of crying. What a waste of tears.

Anyway. I don't know how Jimin will act with me and I don't know how I will act with him. Maybe I should act like nothing ever happened. But if he wants to talk about it ? I must talk with him, right ?

Then, the door of my room opened and I quickly closed my eyes, pretending to sleep. I heard steps coming closer to me and someone bent over me. I felt a soft breath on my neck and just by the scent of the person I knew it was Jimin.

"Jungkook-ah... Wake up" he said softly. He tried to shake me to wake me up but I didn't bugde at all. He was about to leave when I opened my eyes and caught him by his shirt. He looked at me, surprised and I looked back at him, saying

"You said you'd call me by my nickname". I pouted and he smiled.

"Sorry. It's just that... I didn't know if you were still keeping it on..." he said, looking at me with a questioning expression.

"Why ?" I asked, letting go of his shirt and sitting up.

"Because... We kind of misunderstood each other like you said." I smiled and pulled him to sit next to me. I caught his face in my hands and said

"No matter what happens between us hyung, always call me by my nickname." He hugged me and, patting my head, he whispered "Okay".

"Now, let's go eat, I'm starving." I said when he pulled off. I was blushing and my heart was going crazy. We stood up and went out of the room, to get to the living room. We sat down next to each other, our faces flushed pink and everyone looked at us, with an expression saying 'what did happen ?'. Jin filled all of our plates and we began eating. Then, Namjoon hyung said

"Guys, today we have our comeback as you know. I know that you must be tired -because I am- but we have to practice one last time before going to the rehearsal.

"It's okay Namjoon-ah. We endured all the practices until now, we won't die because of one more practice !" said Jin hyung with a smile. We all nodded in agreement.

Namjoon let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm pleased to hear that. So let's finish and get going." We all finished eating quickly, got dressed up and went to the car.

We practiced until we thought it was close to perfection in both singing and dancing. We then left to the broadcasting studio. In the car, it was as usual : Yoongi sleeping, Namjoon and Jin talking and Taehyung and Hoseok joking. Between Jimin hyung and me, there was nothing. We were both listening to some music.

The rehearsal was kind of exhausting but we enjoyed it nonetheless -at least as much as you could enjoy rehearsing.

Then, we went to our waiting room. Everyone slept a little. I couldn't sleep well at night because of what didn't happen with Jimin hyung, and neither in the waiting room because I was anxious. It was our comeback stage, we couldn't make mistakes ! I was beginning to worry very much... Suddenly, Jimin hyung appeared and began to try relaxing me.

"Hey Kookie ! Are you full of 'fighting' ?" He passed one of his arms over my shoulders.

"Uhm... I'm kinda stressed. I hope I won't make any mistakes."

"Of course you won't ! You're our Golden Maknae ! Don't worry. You'll be amazing, as always." he said with his legendary eye-smile.

"You'll do great too hyung. Even if you're here to cheer me up, you need to be cheered up too." I said to him, taking off his arm from my shoulders and squeezing his hand in order to relax him. His smile widened and I smiled too.

"Thanks, Kookie. I knew that cheering you up would help me as well."

BTS, be prepared

"Let's go hyung ! I'm full of 'fighting' now ! And you ?"

"Nado~~" he said, doing aegyo.

"Stop it, it's disgusting" I said, laughing.

"Yah ! I'm your hyung, show some respect maknae !"

"Sorry... You're disgusting hyungnim" I said, standing up quickly so that he won't have time to hit me. He may be short but he is really strong; even if he hits me for fun, it hurts a bit. But he must have anticipated my actions and stood up at the same time and caught me.

"I'll make you pay at the dorms, we don't have time right now." he whispered, threatening me. I started to get slightly anxious but we were called to perform so I forgot about it and began to immerse myself in the feelings of the song (their performance -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\=YMp4R53JJeY) 

Our performance was great, we didn't make any major mistakes and the fans' cheers helped us to be more confident.

The show ended and we were back in the car, heading to the dorms. When we were there, the same routine to take showers took place but instead of waiting for my turn, I found myself being dragged by Jimin hyung in our shared room. We entered and he locked the door.

"What are you doing ?" I asked him, suspicious.

"I'm going to make you pay for calling me disgusting." he replied, slowly coming towards me. With each step he took forward, I took one back.

"But before punishing you, I want us to talk." He came in front of me and made us sit on his bed.

"A-about what ?" Why are you stuttering for God's sake ?!? There is no point in stuttering, you pabo !

He took my right hand and while he was caressing it, he said

"About what you were going to tell me last night." He looked me right in the eye and he was so beautiful, looking at me with his concerned and curious look, I felt courage mustering inside of me. I began.

" Okay... So, the kind of person I like isn't the one you're thinking of." He took a deep breath and so did I. "I... I like guys actually." I looked away before I could read his expression. "And... the person I like is you, hyung". I waited five seconds and because he wasn't saying anything, I stood up, ready to leave but then, he grabbed my arm, pulled me on the bed, said "This is your punishment" and kissed me. I was so shocked that I took two seconds before closing my eyes and kissing him back. It was a sweet kiss, full of passion. It was feeling so right, like we were meant for each other, like his lips were meant to be on mines and mines on his. He pulled away and hugged me.

"I like you too Kookie. More than you can imagine".

"Really ?" He broke his embrace and looked at me.

"Of course. If it wasn't for real, I wouldn't have kissed you. But... why are you crying ?"

"What ?" I touched my cheeks and realised that I indeed was crying. "I don't know. Maybe because I finally told you everything." I said, beaming.

"I thought it as because you weren't satisfied of my kiss" he said, blushing.

"What ? No ! You are-" I stopped. It was my turn to blush.

"I'm what ?" he asked, teasing me. "Say it Kook."

"Amazing" I whispered.

"Excuse me ? Can you repeat ?" he said, coming closer and smirking.

"I said that you are amazing." I replied, turning my face to not face him.

"Really ? Look at me then." I shook my head so he grabbed my chin, turned my face, placed his palms on my cheeks and placed a peck on my lips. Then on my nose. On my forehead. Everywhere on my face and he began to tickle me.

"Stop hyung !" I shouted, laughing so much I was short of air.

"Hey ! What's happening ? Are you alright in here ? Why did you lock the door ? Open it !" It was Suga hyung. He had a superpower of coming just when me and hyung are having a moment. What a shitty superpower.

" Okay hyung ! Wait !" shouted Jimin before standing up. He went to the door and unlocked it. He then came back to sit next to me.

"What are you doing ?" asked Yoongi hyung. He seemed suspicious.

"Nothing. I was just punishing Jungkook. I was tickling him."

"Really ? And why did he need to be punished ?"

"None of your business hyung. We don't question you on your life, right ?" I said to him. I was frustrated that he cut us in our moment so I reacted coldly to his question.

"Oh really ? Jimin-ah, punish him again, it doesn't seem to have worked well the first time." he replied and left. When he closed the door, Jimin leaned to me and said "My pleasure". He kissed me one more time and we cuddled in his bed until I fell asleep.

The next morning

Jimin POV

I can't believe it ! What a wonderful day ! We had our comeback stage and I finally told Jungkook how muched I liked him. I wanted to say that I loved him but I was scared that I might be too straight-forward. Wait... Jungkook said that he loved someone, right ? If this someone isn't some girl but me, then... he loves me ! Why am I so smart ?

I have this beautiful guy in my arms right now and I swear I won't ever let go of him. EVER. I've waited so long for this ! But I was so overjoyed yesterday that I forgot to ask him to be my boyfriend. Well, it's not a problem. I could just ask him later. But I should tell him that I don't want anyone to know for now. Just the members, not the staff nor Big Hit.

I looked down at Jungkook and his eyes fluttered open.

"Good morning Kookie" I said to him.

"Hyung ? What... It wasn't a dream ?" he asked.

"No sweetie. It wasn't a dream. Are you disappointed ?"  *oh my god, I cringed at the nickname lol*

"Of course no ! It's just... It's feels so unreal, like in a dream. It's so perfect, hyung." he said, smiling his cute bunny smile and hid his face in my chest.

"But where is Rap Mon hyung ?" he continued, inhaling my scent.

"When he entered last night, he saw us and went to sleep with Jin hyung. I wonder why though. He could have slept on the couch." I replied, scratching the back of my neck. Jungkook lifted his head and looked at me.

"You know... I think there is something between them."

"What ? Are you sure ?"

"Well... They're always together and when the both of us had problems, Jin was comforting me while Namjoon was comforting you. And they seem very close." he said, smirking.

"Anyway. We'll see that later. Let's get up. I'm starving." I tried to stand up but Jungkook held me back. I looked at him, confused.

"I'm not getting up unless you kiss me." he said, pursing his beautiful lips. I chuckled and kissed him. At that time, Hobi hyung opened the door and began "Guys, you have to-" but he saw us and screamed "KYAAAA !!! OH MY GOD ! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT ! WHAT HAPPENED ?!? OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD !!!" He seemed overjoyed and by the time I pulled out, he was jumping over to hug us. He dragged us to the living room so that we could take our breakfast.

"What happened, you crazy bastard, so that you scream early in the morning ?" said Suga hyung, obviously annoyed.

"Jikook is real ! That's what happened !" I was a bit surprised at the couple nickname but found it cute.

"Really ?!?" asked Tae-Tae, eyes sparkling and beaming.

"Uhm... Yes." I said, my face heating up.

"Kookie ! Is this real ?" asked Jin hyung. Kookie passed his arms around my waist and hugged me.

"Yes hyung. He's finally mine." He seemed so proud and happy, I was so touched that I almost began to cry.

"Congratulations Jungkook. I'm happy for you-both of you." said Namjoon hyung, clapping his hands. Everyone began to clap and shout to congratulate us.

"Okay, so before eating, we'll change the rooms." began Jin hyung.

"Really ?" I asked.

"Since you're a couple now, you'll sleep in the same room. You'll stay in the one you're currently in. Taehyungie, you'll sleep with Hoseokie and-"

"Why ?!" asked Taehyung, panicked."You're tired of me hyung ?"

"No, it's just that I want you to sleep with Hoseok. I suppose Yoongi would want to sleep alone -the latter nodded- so I'll sleep with Namjoon. Yoongi, you can take the manager's room since he's gone."

"Okay. When are we going to move our stuffs ?" asked Hoseok hyung.

"We can change after breakfast because tonight we'll be too tired". Everyone replied "okay" and we went to eat. Jungkook was still hugging me so I had to pull out from his embrace so that we could both eat comfortably. We finished our breakfast, changed the rooms and went to practice for tonight's performance.
